What may be better (though not trivial, is to have an fm[2] like interface (a kind of explorer interface)), kind of how M$ Blindows Control panel looks like. That way, you maximize to your hearts content, and still have a list view, which you can scroll to your hearts content. IIRC, there was a time, very early on in e17's lifetime, when it looked like that. no?
Yes, thats how I initially coded it. Later on we moved to the list widget, dont remember why. If we're going to use an fm style control panel (a la Winblows), we need to either use fm's icon placement code (how's that doing?) or create some sort of virtual folder thingy for fm where we can specify what icons do? (ie, not simply launch the associated app). Perhaps we could have some special internal mime type that we can use? If we have an icon-view (generic) in E17, we can simply move from a list implementation to an icon-view (or provide both even) with minimal changes. -- Hisham Mardam Bey MSc (Computer Science) http://hisham.cc/ +9613609386 Codito Ergo Sum (I Code Therefore I Am)
